Abstract: This paper presents preliminary results of an ongoing PhD work, focusing on the further
development of Visual Management (VM) application in Construction using prescriptive
research through Design Science. The aim of the paper is to present a case study that
describes how a Visual Management Method (VMM) was developed and implemented to
improve transparency on a construction site and to consider how this method can make a
contribution to Visual Management theory. The VMM incorporates visual tools that are
applied together to plan, measure and visualise work on a daily basis. The paper concludes
with a discussion on how the VMM relates to the literature on Visual Management and
determines the next steps to be taken to refine the method and provide theoretical
contributions.

Abstract: Line – a moving point that defines the edges of objects and spaces Shape – an area enclosed by a line Form – a shape that exists in three dimensions Value – refers to the lightness or darkness of a color Color – one of the most expressive elements of an image, it is a result of light bouncing off objects Texture – the surface quality of an artwork; it may be tangible or visible Balance – the distribution of visual weight Movement – the way a viewer’s eye is drawn around the image to focal areas Emphasis – an area that stands out in the image and tends to hold the viewer’s attention Pattern – the repetition of lines, shapes, forms, or colors Rhythm – a “visual beat,” often using repetition to create a controlled movement around the image
